And then sobbing wildly, with a fierce unrelenting insanity of vengeance against Fate in every muscle, he rose above the grain again and again and hewed to left and to right and to left and to right and to left and to right. Over and over and over! Slicing out huge scars in green wheat and ripe wheat. With no selection and no care, cursing, over and over, swearing, laughing laughter that was not his own any more. The blade swung up in the rising sun and came down in the sun, singing and whistling.
I was born in a little town in middle Tennessee named Manchester. It is located almost directly between Nashville and Chattanooga.
I attended a year of college in Cookeville at Tennessee Tech University before transferring to Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. I finished my degree (in Television Production) at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Following that, I lived in Nashville for a few years.
Then, I moved back home to Manchester for a job at Sverdrup which only lasted 2 years before I was laid off. During my unemployed period I met my wife while on a job-hunting trip to central Illinois. I got a job from that trip, moved, fell madly in love, got married and had a kid.
